Processed chicken is imported from all over the world. And some food labels don't mention where it's from. But Perdue is the only company that has the USDA go beyond their standard inspection to verify that all our chickens are raised on farms right here in the USA. Because we believe that's what it takes to bring you a fresh-tasting chicken.

At Perdue, we can guarantee the freshness of our chicken with complete confidence. Because we go beyond what the USDA requires with extra inspections in our family farms, refrigerated trucks that deliver daily, and everywhere in between. If you don't think our chicken tastes fresh, we'll give you your money back, guaranteed.

A lot of chicken companies cut corners by feeding their chickens all sorts of animal by-products. But PERDUE® chickens are always fed a 100% vegetarian diet, including locally sourced corn and soybeans, and marigolds. And we never use added hormones or steroids.* Because we believe that if you wouldn't feed it to your family, we shouldn't give it to our chickens.

All chicken is inspected by the USDA, but Perdue asked the USDA to go even further—in our hatcheries, feed mills and the family farms where our chickens are raised. The USDA verifies that all our chickens are fed a 100% vegetarian diet, with no animal by-products, and cared for in a clean, safe environment.

Back in 1920, Arthur Perdue started selling eggs and quickly earned a reputation for quality that continued as he began to sell chickens. In the '50s, Arthur's son, Frank, made this higher quality his guarantee. Then in 1991, Frank's son, Jim, took the helm, and he began guiding Perdue to become the innovative chicken company it is today.
